August 7, 1957 ~ April 10, 2024
Born in:
Giovinazzo,Bari, Italy
Resided in:
Fort Lee , NJ
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Vitangelo Bavaro of Fort Lee, NJ. The devoted husband, cherished father, doting grandfather and esteemed baker found Heaven on April 10, 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born in Giovinazzo, Bari, Italy, August 7, 1957 to Raffaella Bavaro and the late Angelo Bavaro.
Vitangelo embodied the essence of resilience and hard work from an early age, immigrating to the United States from Italy when he was a teenager. In 1990, his American Dream was realized when he opened Vitangelo’s Bakery in Edgewater, NJ with his wife by his side. He was proud to serve his community traditional Italian delicacies and poured his heart into every cake and pastry.
Outside the bakery, Vitangelo enjoyed trips to Cape May with his family, connecting with loved ones in his hometown in Italy and completing house and yard projects. There was nothing he couldn’t fix with some paint, nails and rope.
Vitangelo is lovingly remembered by his wife of 38 years, Francesca Bavaro. He is also survived by his three children, Raffaella Bavaro, Anna Bavaro Marzello and Angelo Bavaro; his mother; his grandchild, Vincenzo Giuseppe Marzello, and a granddaughter on the way; and his three sisters, Consiglia Ruffa, Carmela Lopreiato and Nicoletta Cavalieri.

I miss you so much! My heart is broken in a million pieces. You were so strong and fought like hell. Thank you for teaching me valuable life lessons. Rest in peace my guardian angel. 🩵
I have nothing but great memories of Vitangelo Bavaro. I have known Vito and his family since January of 2008. Vito was a dedicated businessman who prioritized his family. Vito constantly aimed to be at the summit. He was very friendly and cordial to everyone who crossed paths with him. I always enjoyed his delicious hospitality, and he was a very talented baker. Vito loved to talk about soccer, Cape May, and anything regarding Italy! His passing has been surreal to me, and I extend my deepest sympathies to his entire family.
I am totally at a loss for words. What a wonderful friend and family man. Last we spoke he told me he was doing good. My heart is broken and my Love to his family. God Bless him and may he rest in peace
Sending healing prayers and comfort during this difficult time. ❤️🙏
Sincerely
Lap and Ana Chan and family
I am so sorry to hear this. I was a regular customer at Vitangelo Bakery and was very upset when they closed but I am glad he got to enjoy some years of retirement with his family. I lost my mom last year to cancer so I understand how painful this is. My thoughts are with you during this time!
My husband and I loved Vitangelo’s Bakery and Vitangelo was such a lovely and kind soul. I was so sad when his bakery closed and always had hoped we would see him reopen somewhere.
A wonderful tribute in Vitangelo’s honor would be a cookbook with all those delicious cookies, pies and cakes, that so many enjoyed for so many years, for his legacy to live on.
He will be missed.
